What does a buyers agent do in NSW?

A buyers agent represents the interests of property buyers, not sellers. They help you research suburbs, find off-market opportunities, inspect properties, negotiate price, and manage paperwork — saving you time and money.

Why use a buyers agent on the Central Coast?

The Central Coast market is competitive, with many properties selling off-market — particularly in sought-after suburbs like Terrigal, Avoca Beach, and Umina Beach. A buyers agent with genuine local knowledge, agent relationships, and negotiation experience helps you secure the right property faster, often before it ever hits realestate.com.au.

How much does a buyers agent cost in NSW?

Fees vary, but most NSW buyers agents charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the purchase price (typically 1.5–2%). At Keen Acquisitions, we tailor packages to suit your budget and buying goals.

Can a buyers agent help with off-market properties?

Yes. Buyers agents often have early access to off-market listings through agent networks, helping you beat the competition and avoid public bidding wars.

Is using a buyers agent worth it in NSW?

For most buyers, yes. Especially if you're time-poor, new to the Central Coast market, or relocating from Sydney. The combination of better access, stronger negotiation, and fewer costly mistakes typically outweighs the fee many times over.

What's the difference between a selling agent and a buyers agent?

Selling agents represent the vendor and are paid to achieve the highest price. A buyers agent works exclusively for you — no conflicts of interest, ever.

How long does the buying process usually take?

With Keen Acquisitions, most clients secure a property within 6–8 weeks. Off-market access and a clear brief means we're not wasting time on the wrong properties.

What areas do you cover?

We're based on the Central Coast and work across Gosford, Terrigal, Woy Woy, Erina, Avoca Beach, Umina Beach, Ettalong Beach, The Entrance, Wyong, and surrounds.

Meet Mitch

Mitch Keen - Professional Buyers Agent Central Coast

Mitch got into real estate at 23. His first property purchase sparked something.

What started as personal curiosity became a career built around helping others buy smarter.

He lives on the Central Coast with his wife Kim and their two boys, Zader and Asher. He knows this market the way only someone who actually lives here can.

Since the 2020 boom, buying property has gotten harder. More competition, more off-market deals, more ways to overpay or miss out entirely. Mitch started Keen Acquisitions to change that — giving buyers the same access, local knowledge, and negotiating power that selling agents have always had.

He works with owner occupiers, first home buyers, and Sydney families making the move to the Coast. One agent. Total focus. No handoffs.

Our Vision

Most buyers go into one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives without anyone truly in their corner.

Selling agents work for the vendor. Banks work for the bank. At Keen Acquisitions, we work exclusively for you.

We're not a volume operation. We take on a small number of clients at a time, because that's what it takes to do this properly. Every property gets scrutinised. Every negotiation gets our full attention. Every client gets Mitch, not a junior assistant.

The goal isn't just finding you a property. It's finding you the right one.
